There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby. The preacher went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck. After six children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's salary. There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church.

Finally, the preacher got up and spoke to the crowd. "Having children is an act of God!" Silence fell upon the congregation. No one dare challenge the thought.

In the back of the room a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice said, "Snow and rain are also acts of God, but when we get too much, we wear rubbers!"

Don't you just love little old ladies!

Sounds like many grandmas, the perfect ability to say the wrong thing at the right moment

Yep, there wasn't much grey area in the womans comment. Now that was frank and to the point...

The grandmother of my good lady wife is amazing when it comes to statements like this. We were having a big family Easter lunch 2 years ago and uncle Laci turns up (he who is Tellytubby shaped). Grandma said "God you're getting fat Laci! Now what would you like to eat?"

Lovely, lovely, lovely
